OTTAWA — Votes for middle-class families moved to the centre stage of the federal election Tuesday with the Liberals and Conservatives battling over tax breaks.

The Conservatives, who have also claimed to be making the benefits tax-free, are promising a tax credit. So parents would still see their benefits taxed by the government, but they’d get a tax credit in return. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer argued the Liberals were in fact adopting a Tory tone by expanding the CCB.

In a background document circulated to reporters, they argued that with a 15 per cent tax credit applied across the board, people would benefit from the program equally, and in some cases see their tax savings be higher than the amount of money that’s currently deducted for taxes on the benefit cheques.

Do both.

Neither would be best. The government has no place in our bedrooms. Let people manage their own finances. People who choose to not have children shouldn’t pay for those that do.

Naw!!

Tax credits or cash? Parties spar over what is best for parental benefitsLiberal Leader Justin Trudeau sought to one-up his Conservative rivals on Tuesday by promising new parents won't pay any taxes at all on maternity and parental leave benefits. A country without a loser Trudeau is a Canadian win for natural born Canadians So in that article. The picture at the bottom is wrong. As it stands right now the liberals should be first. They are the party in power and not the PC. Did the PC party buy there way into first place, cause that’s not how it’s done. I thought the party had to be elected. wouldn't math decide this? oh right, numbers don't lie, feelings do. which is why cutting taxes is supposed to bring plenty for all. (never does. no proof)
